Gaiadance Technique training program.
March 19-21 , 2010
The Gaia Dance™ technique is a holistic,
meditative dance practice rooted in the ancient traditions & organic movement of
belly dance blended with yogic philosophy; incorporating flowing asana, breath
work, meditative practices, and traditional techniques for resonating with the
rhythms & cycles of the natural realm. GaiaDance ™ can be seen as a type of
holistic dance practice serving as a form of moving meditation, embodied prayer,
and as a medium for spiritual path working and holistic wellness. The GaiaDance™
technique involves exploring many methods (using movement, dance & meditation)
of connecting with our authentic selves for the purpose of creating and
maintaining holistic wellness.
In this weekend training retreat, participants will learn the GaiaDance™
technique experientially through taking a divine journey deep within themselves
with rhythmic, meditative movement, music, yoga and dance. Learn techniques for
bringing your mind, body and spirit into oneness and alignment with the energies
and cycles of the natural realm. Explore the chakras and learn "Energy
Awareness" techniques for sensing, balancing and energize the subtle energy
bodies of the aura and more. This workshop is a pre-requisite for the Gaiadance
Teacher Training program.
This training program is facilitated by Carrie Konyha; professional dancer,
spiritual counselor/teacher, meditative dance specialist and creator of the
Gaiadance technique. See Itinerary below for program details. Program is limited
